I have an Mx Linux M8 Android Box with XBMC Gotham 13.1 installed. I am trying to upgrade the firmare to Kodi Helix 14.1. the issue i keep having and there is nothing on the web to help me with this, but i cant install Kodi as the ARM file i downloaded was an APK and it needs to be a zip file. i have compressed the file to zip in hope it would work but still no luck. i want to completely upgrade the firmware of Gotham 13.1 to Helix 14.01 please help as this is driving me insane the box was initially an android box and i wiped it and stuck xbmc on there but for some reason i cant upgrade any further.
Thank you
Sam

Hi Sam,
unfortunately I was not able to find a direct answer to your question on xda.
I only found this thread about your device: [ROM][Linux/XBMC] OpenELEC for Amlogic-based TV-Boxes (WeTek Play, M8, MX2).
It has a Q&A thread, in which you can post your questions if you register on xda.
And here some threads about XBMC:
[root] xbmc - choppy avi playback solution - mount samba share - external mxplayer
[APP] [Windows] Amazon FireTV Utility App v0.38
troubleshooting choppy xvid playback in gotham xbmc
Maybe there you can get a better advice.
Thread closed. Thank you.

Hey guys,
Since I'm new on the forum and I'm not allowed to post in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2418029, i'm doing it here...
I just bought and received a E-M6 Android tv device, with the AML8726-MX chipset.
It came with Android 4.2 and XMBC 12.3 installed as an Android app.
I was not able to update the XMBC app to the latest version, tried all kinds of things.
Plus, as I only want to use this device for watching/streaming videos, i don't need all the Anroid shizzle, so I decided to flash the device.
I used an image from the topic above (MX_LINUX-1.00-G18REF_MX2REF-NEWMTD-update.zip)
Flash was succesful within a few minutes (I used an Sandisk Class 10 SD card)
After reboot, I see it's also XBMC 12.3.
Is there another image that I can flash my device with? And that embeds XBMC 13 or 13.1?
Thanks in advance if someone can help me out!!
Find the xbmc apk in your update image and replace it with the version you want install. Most likely it's in /system/app. Reflash and you should be good.

Thanks 4 reply, but there is no apk file in the image.
The image contains an MX Linux with xbmc 12.4 embedded in a way I don't know neither understand
Can you maybe download the image as well and check some things (see first post for url),
Any other ideas?
There is a very good Gotham build out by codesnake. It's called openelec 4.xx. That exactly what you are looking for

Hi
am trying to flash my bk808b plus to andriod 5 using the images from here
rom 2015-01-22
my current rom is finless1.1
i am using twrp to perform the upgrade but i keep getting the following error message
this package is for device: wetek; this device is x8_h
there is only 2 files on the sd card its a tandy 16gb class 10
rom 2015-01-22 and gapps 2015-01-07(lte)
the upgrade to finless 1.0 and 1.1 had no issues
does this rom image work with the bk808b plus?
i have followed the instructions to the letter.
my aim if i am reading it correctly should then give me hopefully hd sound pass through dolby true hd and dts master hd
i can then stop using my wd live box as it does bot support x265
also another issue i have found on the latest version of kodi/xbmc/sbmc helix 14.1 when i play any video content I only get 1/4 size display of video not full screen, go back to older version and all is ok has any one else seen this?

Are you talking about this ROM: [ROM][5.0.2] Unofficial CyanogenMOD 12 for MK808B-Plus - WeTek Gift?
You should ask in the ROM's thread ... if available.
I recommend to register on xda and ask in the Android Stick Computers forum.
There you should get best help and answers on your questions.
Good luck !

Hi
I recently installed Remix OS to my Asus X502C laptop and it all seemed really quick and easy so I decided to try it out on my old Linx 7 Windows Tablet and my iRulu Windows W1005 however I just cannot seem to get it to work.
I can get it installed to either the hdd or a bootable USB drive but when I choose the Android OS to boot from I get varying errors of missing things etc and then it hangs on a black screen.
I have also tried various other Android images listed to work on Windows tabs and other installers; Rufus, the Androidx86 installer 2.4 from a thread on this forum etc..
I can run MEmu no problem on my iRulu but I really would like a dual boot on it or just single boot on the Linx 7, I am a member on the Linx forum and Reddit but the Android discussion seems to be dead on there and guides/files are missing but people have said they have had Android running.
Can anyone point me to something that will work?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I recently purchased a new TV running webOS 4.5. I can't root it but still native app development is possible.
Here's all tools and samples: https://github.com/webosbrew , and here's what is working so far:
1. Qt Quick 5.6.2
2. SDL 2.0.5
3. GStreamer (sound only)
And here's the game streaming app I've been porting:
I also started reverse engineering, and needs your help if you've rooted your TV before.
Could any one share your copy of root file system? Also, if possible, could you share the YouTube/Netflix application binary running on your TV? So I can find out how to make hardware video acceleration works.
You'll probably want to join the openlgtv discord. There's a tool on their github (epk2extract) which will extract a number of firmware files. I found a similar model to mine to extract.

Thank you. I've joined their server and indeed got some great help.
Kudos to @mariotaku , the development is amazing. I've installed version 0.6.1 and works like a charm!! Everybody should try this
Is the openlgtv discord still available? I can't find it..
